Patient's question:
My boy is 7 years old. At first, he had a slightly sore throat, and then discovered that his cough was quite severe. Additionally, he now has a high fever that won't break. I would like to ask: If a child has tonsillitis and feels very uncomfortable, what should be paid attention to regarding their diet?Doctor's answer:
tonsillitis is currently one of the more common diseases and requires timely treatment. While being treated, it is important to feed the child some vegetables and fruits, as they are rich in vitamins and can help boost immunity and alleviate symptoms. When choosing fruits, it is generally recommended to opt for those that are neutral in nature and also rich in vitamins, such as honeydew melon or kiwi. In terms of dietary choices, it is best to select easily digestible options, such as congee or noodles, which are excellent. At the same time, parents should also pay attention not to let the child eat spicy or greasy foods. In addition to proper diet, it is important not to be picky or fussy about food to avoid nutritional deficiencies and weakened immunity, which could lead to recurrence.
